The day that many T-Mobile users have been waiting for is almost here. After telling the world that they were going to offer the Galaxy Note, T-Mobile has finally announced when it will be available.

The T-Mobile Galaxy Note will be available for consumers to purchase on Wednesday, August 8 2012. The phone will sell for $249.99 after a $50 mail-in-rebate and will require your usual 2-year contract to get the phone at the subsidized pricing. If you prefer one of T-Mobile?s Value Plans, the phone will set you back $199 and you have to pay $20 per month until your handset is paid off.

Specs-wise, the Galaxy Note is the same as the phone we?ve seen in the past. It features a fast 1.5GHz dual-core processor, a massive 5.3-inch display, 16GB of internal storage, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and more.

If you?re not sure if you should be buying the Galaxy Note now, you should probably wait a few more days to see what Samsung has planned for its August 15 event. On the 15th, they plan on announcing some new devices. A lot of people are saying that the Galaxy Note 2 will be announced while others are putting their money on the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.

Either way, we?ll find out real soon. So, there you have it, folks. August 8. T-Mobile. Galaxy Note. $249.99!

The fastest expanding city in Tx, Dallas is one of best places to are now living in, but it experiences damp and hot summer months. During summers, the temperature can go up to 91?F, making the city uncomfortable. People therefore fully utilize air conditioning Dallas for managing through the summer months.

AC?s are an indispensable appliance in all houses inside Dallas. Thus air conditioning maintenance has become equally important for anyone here. A number of ac service dallas Dallas companies are functioning in the city due to the huge demand right here. Their services differ from installing of an air health and fitness unit to mending complex air conditioning problems.

Many a times the air conditioning unit fails abruptly and the problem can not be solved by a normal individual. Their repairs can be quite expensive and complicated. Don?t need to just a repair and also need to carry out every year maintenance of the AC models to keep it practical. Regular inspection might be best for identifying most likely problems and fixing them before it is too later.

The AC repair Dallas service providers provide the subsequent services in Dallas:

*Duct Washing

*Full system repair

*Grill cleaning

* Tune up HVAC system

*Routine maintenance

*Cleaning HVAC system

* Routine maintenance strategy

*Emergency services for ac

*Freon leakage system

*Installation of recent UV system

*Saving plan of commercial energy

Follow this advice on maintaining your air conditioning units in Dallas-

1. Tend not to leave the AC off of for very long periods. Whether or not the weather is fine, just run the AC for a couple minutes to keep this in running condition. This way it would be inside running condition as it?s needed most, and in situation it needs repairs you?d be able to detect it beforehand.

2. Change the air filters regularly. Unclean filters obstruct mid-air flow, which reduces the efficiency of the AC and also increases the power ingestion.

3. Replace the particular disposable fiberglass filters too.

4. Digital filters should also be laundered at regular times.

5. Obstructions such as leaves; newspaper etc should be removed from the machine.

6. Access solar panels should be secure.

7. Regular maintenance of mid-air conditioning unit, by way of a qualified technician have to be done annually. This will likely improve its productivity and prolong the life of the unit.

The actual AC unit should be maintained when it is not throughout heavy use that is certainly during off season time. As AC?s are more used during summers, get it serviced and restored before that. This way you will be able to enjoy the total benefits of the air training unit during summers and not be captured off guard in the middle of peak summers with some trouble in the unit.

For your AC fixes you must hire a tech who has an up to date license. It would be smart to hire a technician employed by reputed company coping with air conditioning repair. These types of technicians are well trained and have the skills and data for performing the job efficiently. They offer appropriate service warranties, which can be an indication of their determination towards quality perform and consumer total satisfaction. Even if you need work with a heating repair Dallas company y can be assured that they would do an amazing job.

France will fight for the right to continue exporting foie gras, the delicacy produced by the force-feeding of geese and ducks, President Fran?ois Hollande has pledged.

A law against foie gras sales took effect in California this month ? the first ban of its kind in the world. France fears that similar legislation may spring up in other US states.

Only a small part of annual French production is exported, but President Hollande nonetheless found time in his schedule to visit a farm which makes foie gras at Monlezun, in Gers, south- west France, at the weekend.

"Foie gras is a great French product which honours the farmers who devote their lives to it," he said. "I will not allow any challenge to foie gras exports, from certain countries or from certain American states."

It is unclear what France can do about the Californian ban, which was passed into law following a campaign by animal rights activists, supported by Hollywood celebrities and pop stars, including Sir Paul McCartney. France fears, however, that the implementation of the Californian law could encourage copycat legislation in other US states ? and maybe even within the European Union.

While admitting that he could not fight the US law directly, Mr Hollande said he would argue for France's right under free trade treaties to export a "good product" which respects "health norms" and "animal comfort". In the meantime, he said, he would bombard US political leaders with gifts of foie gras "for their own great enjoyment".

"We may sometimes not be able to afford to buy foie gras ourselves but I wouldn't want the Americans to be deprived of it," he joked.

France produces 80 per cent of the world's foie gras ? 19,500 tonnes a year ? which is created by force-feeding geese and ducks until their livers swell to 10 times their normal size. Almost all of the French foie gras is consumed in France. Just over 2 per cent is exported.

It is useful for Mr Hollande politically to cast himself as a defender of rural and ancient traditions. In truth, 80 per cent of French foie gras is produced in factory farms, rather than small family-run businesses like the one he visited on Saturday.

Some progress has been made towards animal welfare in recent years. The birds no longer have their feet nailed to the floor. They have more room in their cages and are force-fed for two weeks instead of three.

Consider the scene: Tom, a small, shy, openly gay high school student, sat at the back of the school bus on his own. He saw three of the most popular, athletic boys get on the bus, fresh from soccer practice. As they made their way down the aisle, they saw Tom alone and moved toward him.

What happened next?

?

Not what you?d expect. The boys, in fact, sat down to talk with Tom. ?I didn?t really know him well,? one later told me. ?I knew he was the gay kid at school, that?s all. ? He was all on his own. I mean, I couldn?t just let him sit there alone. Nobody should have to sit alone.?

Having documented in earlier posts that masculinity is changing among British male youth, I now examine how popularity is constructed in one of the high schools where I collected data?Standard High. This is because it was markedly different from what one might expect. Even though some boys were more popular than others, this popularity was not maintained through the harassment of peers or through risk-taking behaviors.

The ?jock? was not king at Standard High. Boys ascribing to a wide range of masculine archetypes (including geek and emo) could be popular. These boys came from both privileged backgrounds and areas of socio-economic disadvantage; they included students of various ethnicities and boys of various athletic abilities. When I analyzed what made a boy popular, I found that it was dependent on the extent to which he maintained other characteristics. I identified four main categories of behavior that increased one?s popularity at Standard High: charisma, authenticity, emotional support, and social fluidity.

1. Charisma

Just like with more traditional forms of masculinity, a boy?s popularity at Standard High is primarily maintained by entertaining his peers through high-octane behaviors. It is these ?fun-loving? acts of extroversion that really catapult a boy to popularity. For example, one week in the common room entertainment was provided by boys using a skateboard. They performed tricks, trying to outperform their friends. The success of the trick, however, was less important than the exuberance with which it was performed. The most popular performances were the funniest and the most physical, and boys who could do this best received the most praise.

This idea of charisma raising popularity was also supported by interviews with students. For example, Alex, a quiet student who plays in a rock band, commented, ?The bigger the character you are, the higher up you are.? But contrary to the charisma of aggressive and macho boys, students argued that charisma raised the spirits of all students. As Ian said, ?Say it?s a wet and rainy day and everyone?s down, you can always rely on someone doing something, just to make everyone laugh again, and feel a bit better.?

2. Authenticity

It used to be the case that those boys who did not engage in extroverted behaviors were socially marginalized as nerdy or gay. However, at Standard High more introverted students can be popular if their behaviors are deemed to be part of ?who you really are.? One of the popular students, Ian, said, ?Take Sam, he?s a bit different. But I got to know him, and he?s really cool. I like his individuality.? As Jack said, ?It?s ultimately about comfortability with yourself.? This was demonstrated through the clothes that the boys wore. That is, a wide variety of clothing styles were on display at Standard High, and while clothing was important, what mattered was not the style of clothes you wore, but that it ?fit? with your personality.

3. Emotional support

One of the most heartening and perhaps surprising aspects of what constitutes popularity at Standard High was that the giving of emotional support was an ordinary and valued way of life for boys at this school. Indeed, boys spoke of their close friendship openly; as Matt said, ?I love my friends, and I could rely on them if I needed to.?

I frequently observed this kind of support between male friends. However, boys also provided reassurance during public events as well. One example of this came during the election of ?student officers.? Here, students had to give a speech as to why they should be elected to one of the various available positions. Each candidate had to give a three-minute speech in assembly, and each was applauded before and after they did so. However, Simon was rather awkward during his speech, and spoke rather hesitantly. Despite not being particularly popular, he was equally applauded by his peers. Furthermore, later walking past a group of the most popular students, Matt called out, ?Well done, Simon,? and Ian added, ?Yeah, it?s not easy to do.? There was no heckling, and the boys praised Simon?s willingness to take part.

4. Social Fluidity

The final element of popularity at Standard High complements both inclusivity and support. Here, social fluidity recognizes how boys befriend a broad range of peers. Contrary to what earlier research has shown, boys are not part of antagonistic cliques and value the ability to move between social groups at Standard High. Indeed, there are no real cliques at Standard High?just groups of friends. Alex described this well by saying, ?When you enter the common room and your friends aren?t there, you can just talk to other people.?

The boys value this sociability, and this was most powerfully demonstrated by how they decided to celebrate the end of the school year. In the last week of the summer term, approximately two-thirds of the students organized a five-day holiday together to the same seaside resort. One of the key components of this trip was that everyone stayed together. As Matt said, ?It?s important we go as a group, so we can all celebrate the end of the year together.? At Standard High, popularity is achieved by including peers, not excluding them.

Conclusion

One of the key findings from my research on young men is that they are rapidly rejecting bullying and marginalization as ways of feeling good about themselves. Popularity is determined by how extrovert, authentic, and inclusive a boy is, not by how many other kids he can beat up. This isn?t to say that bullying has been eradicated, or that no boys will be or feel excluded, but it is to document a key change in the social dynamics of boys in this school.

Furthermore, I found a similar atmosphere at two other schools: one school with a religious ethos and one for working-class youth who had troubled educational experiences. Now, of course, it is quite possible that these behaviors are less prevalent in the U.S., where attitudes toward homosexuality are less inclusive. But homophobia is decreasing in America, and it is likely that it will influence boys? behaviors in similar ways. Fundamentally, it is vital to recognize that there are many different ways of doing masculinity, and that some of these are gentle, open and inclusive.

Saturn's moon Iapetus frequently plays host to a huge type of landslide or avalanche that is rare elsewhere in the Solar System, scientists report.

Sturzstroms or "long-runout landslides" move faster and farther than geological models predict they should.

They have been seen on Earth and Mars, but there is debate about their causes.

Now, images from the Cassini space mission, reported in Nature Geoscience, suggest that heating of icy surfaces helps the landslides keep going.

On Earth, landslides typically travel a horizontal distance that is less than twice the distance that the material has fallen.

Long-runout landslides, by contrast, can travel as much as 30 times the vertical falling distance.

A great many mechanisms have been proposed to explain this phenomenon, ranging from simple sliding on ice to the sound waves from the slide making rock and debris behave more like a fluid.

But there is little consensus on which of these theories, if any, is correct.

Now, Kelsi Singer of Washington University in St Louis, US, and colleagues report that the geography of Iapetus is a unique setting to test these theories.

Continue reading the main story

Iapetus

Fatter at equator than at its poles; encircled by huge equatorial ridge
The ridge - a chain of mountains wrapped around Iapetus - reaches up to 20km high
One side of Iapetus is covered in dark material, while the other side is much brighter
As a result, it has been described as the "yin and yang" of Saturn's moons
Discovered by Giovanni Cassini in 1671; Cassini also notices dark-light difference

"The landslides on Iapetus are a planet-scale experiment that we cannot do in a laboratory or observe on Earth," Ms Singer said.

"They give us examples of giant landslides in ice, instead of rock, with a different gravity, and no atmosphere. So any theory of long-runout landslides on Earth must also work for avalanches on Iapetus."

Iapetus is a geologically interesting place to look; it is a squashed sphere, fatter at its equator than its poles, and is mostly encircled by a ridge that reaches peaks some 20km high.

It also has a number of giant impact craters reaching depths of 25km.

The icy satellite has more giant landslides than any Solar System body other than Mars. The reason, says Prof William McKinnon, also from Washington University, is Iapetus' spectacular topography.

"Not only is the moon out-of-round, but the giant impact basins are very deep, and there's this great mountain ridge that's 20km (12 miles) high, far higher than Mount Everest," he explained.

"So there's a lot of topography and it's just sitting around, and then, from time to time, it gives way."

Ms Singer was looking for stress fractures in the moon's ice, but instead found evidence of 30 massive landslides - 17 along crater walls and 13 along the giant equatorial ridge.

Analysis of the images from these events suggests that the "coefficient of friction" - a measure of how much the slip-sliding of material in a landslide tends to slow it down - on Iapetus is far lower than expected for ice.

It appears that this faster-moving ice seen on Iapetus has a lower friction coefficient than that of slow-moving ice measured in Earth-bound laboratories.

The team suggests that the tiny contact points between bits of ice debris in such a landslide may heat up considerably, melting it and forming a more fluid - and thus less friction-limited - mass of material.

They suggest that physicists here on Earth test the idea in the laboratory, giving insight not only into what is happening on Iapetus, but closer to home as well.

?My guest blogger this month is Ed Griffin, who teaches creative writing at Matsqui Prison, a medium-security prison in Canada. Ed has just released his new eboook ? a novel entitled Prisoners of the Williwaw ? on Amazon. Over to you, Ed.

?

In the 1980s, my wife and I owned a mom and pop commercial greenhouse. Our business was prospering, but something was wrong. My life was planting seeds, growing tiny plants and selling vegetables and garden plants in the spring. I was becoming what I grew ? a cabbage, or maybe a petunia. My mind was dying and I knew it.

????????? I started playing around with writing. After supper every night I would go out to my ?office,? a little added-on room between our house and the garage. It had windows to the front and back and a space heater that was adequate for spring and fall, but not winter. I would sit down at the typewriter and follow my creative muse.

????????? Whole worlds opened to me. I wrote about the area behind my childhood garage where I practiced pitching, and dreamed of reaching the major leagues. I wrote a short story about a group of prisoners on an island. I wrote a poem about getting along with the Russians. Hours passed. Suddenly, as I wrote, an alarm would sometimes ring in the house. The alarm meant I hadn?t turned the heat on in the greenhouses. I had to shut the door on the vibrant world that grew on the paper in front of me and hurry to the greenhouses to start the furnaces.

????????? An hour later I?d be back at the typewriter. Type a sentence, stop, look at it, realize it wasn?t quite true and then search deeper. Layers of middle-aged half-truths disappeared, the comfortable maxims I had surrounded myself with ? ?Business is good. Don?t make any changes,? and ?Relax. You?re getting older.? The fires of my youth burned again ? civil rights, world peace, a place in the sun for every person. The idealism that had lain dormant for eight years sparked back into life.

????????? Isaiah was on the scene again, reminding me of the words I read in the seminary and tried to live when I was a priest:

????????? I have appointed you to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison and those who live in darkness from the dungeon. [Chapter 42-6]

????????? As I wrote I dug, I searched always deeper, trying to reach the truth. It might be easy to speak a lie, but it wasn?t easy to write one. I started to unravel the tangled skein that was me. These revelations came, not from writing philosophy or self-help dictums, but from writing fiction. Put a man and a woman in a fictional situation. What does the woman really think? What does the man think? Is this real? Is this how people are? Where do I get my ideas? What is human nature all about? Who am I?

????????? For example, as I wrote about the prisoners on the island, I got to know each one of them. How did they get into crime? Why were they different than me? Did they have a religious education as I did? What did they think about God? Was God a mean father for them or a gentle parent? What did I think about God?

???????? Amazing. The seminary had tried for twelve years to teach me how to meditate, and here I was doing it while I wrote.
